Package Included: 1 * USB Host Shield Review: Does not come with power pins soldered and does not work even when they are connected. - Does not work! Image shows power connections as soldered, but it does not come this way. You will have to solder the connections yourself and then you won't be able to return the item when it doesn't work. I had no luck getting this to work. Do yourself a favor and just buy the Arduino Due board with the USB input port (micro USB) built in. Review: This is a good USB host shield clone - I have a working keyboard project using the official Arduino USB host shield. That shield has been discontinued, I have to look into clones for another project. Apparently, not all clones work, based on user reviews on the internet. I can now confirm this shield works as a drop-in placement for the discontinued official one, at least in my keyboard project. The board is shorter and has less feature but it does use the same MAX3421E chip. The solder work is not as polished as the original and the pins are a bit bent. There is no marking on the pins, unlike the original. However it's also cheaper than the original. Overall I'm happy to finally find a clone that works. ## Features - USB Host Shield for UNO MEGA 2560. - Support the Google Android ADK. - Compatible with Uno 328. - Compatible with Diecimila / Duemilanove 328. - Compatible with Mega 1280. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0777DR3T6 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,555 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Customer Reviews | 3.0 3.0 out of 5 stars (60) | | Date First Available | November 6, 2017 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.774 ounces | | Item model number | 4352417068 | | Manufacturer | LM YN | | Part Number | 4352417068 | | Product Dimensions | 2.09 x 2.09 x 0.79 inches | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LM YN - **CPU Manufacturer:** Atmel - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Model Name:** USB Host Shield - **Operating System:** Android ## Images ![USB Host Shield for UNO MEGA 2560 1280 Support Google Android ADK USB HUB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UD4IH+vPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with a Leonardo?** A: Since the pin-headers are identical to those for the Uno, and the Board Config pairs the Uno/Leonardo as the SAME config, I would think so. I personally haven't coded with the USB Shield yet, but the electrical configurations seem identical. **Q: Is there a library file that one uses to access the usb data? if so, is there a link provided, or can you direct me in the right direction? thanks.** A: Not that I know of, the USB data that is received is based on the USB device connected. You'll have to look up the specific device you're using and find out the format of its data packets. **Q: do you have to solder the 3.3 and 5v pads on this one like so many of the others? I've ordered 3 different shields and none of them work w/out mods.** A: No you do not have to. I am a blind Arduino nut and look for things I don't have to solder. Not that blind folks can not solder but when I don't have to I don't. this unit is pretty nice. I will warn you though. It has female and male headers so you can stack it. The mail pins are really low quality. I have to be really careful because they bend easy. The male headers on some of my other devices have lower gage pins and do not bend as easy. I am not saying this to knock it I mean I paid $11 for it so how can I complain. I just am careful with it. **Q: Is this compatible with the atmega328p? i.e arduino uno r3?** A: It was compatible when we tested. You can try it out. If it is not compatible with yours, you can apply for after-sales service. Our products have a two-year warranty. Need to pay attention to the interface of the product. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Does not come with power pins soldered and does not work even when they are connected. *by D***K on August 26, 2025* Does not work!

I ran "board_qc" in Arduino IDE and could see the board was functioning but could not get any USB device to work with it. For people who normally don't solder... this is what you need to do, assuming your problem is the same as mine. The problem is the board is giving BOTH 3.3V and 5V to the USB. You can easily verify this by looking at the board. See my picture "Before removing solder". See how both the 3.3V and the 5V have bulges of solder? To fix this, remove the solder from the 3.3V bridge, it will then look like a crack... it won't be "bridged" anymore. I used a soldering iron and solder sucker (cheap plastic thing with spring to suck the solder up). I also used a third hand to hold the board and magnifying glass with light. The area is pretty small. You could also use a wick to suck up the solder, I just don't have one. When you are done it should look like my "after removing solder" picture. I'm not an experienced solder-er so please don't judge. :) I hope this helps someone else, I was really bummed when trying to get my Bluetooth to work with my PS4 controller for 2 hours, double checking my program, running diagnostics... Please look at your board and verify this before you lose your mind. Good luck! Oh and it appears to be working fine now. ## Frequently Bought Together - LM YN USB Host Shield for UNO MEGA 2560 1280 Support Google Android ADK USB HUB - Arduino Leonardo with Headers [A000057] - HiLetgo 5pcs USB to Serial USB to TTL CH340 Module with STC Microcontroller Download Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51985463-usb-host-shield-for-uno-mega-2560-1280-support-google](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51985463-usb-host-shield-for-uno-mega-2560-1280-support-google) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
